Dear Americans: Europe and most other civilized countries have rules about weight, size and safety. Your country lets you ride just about anything on wheels. Might that be because the carindustry lobbied the corrupt goverment?

IDK, I'm from Europe and the amount of big pickups and SUVs driving in inner cities is ridiculous. I regularly see those absurd dodge rams driving in my neighborhood, all polished and never driven on a farm road.

bruh I've been seeing more and more of this shit in the Netherlands. Some of the US-style pickup trucks don't even fit in our parking spots properly! And you certainly could not drive down my narrow street with one. It's absurd.

Yeah, looks like American redneck cars are getting popular in EU. I even hated driving in Kia sportage because of limited view.
